Why I have a 370Z

2018 Nissan 370Z Review - AutoGuide.com News

Great article.
Just goes to tell you how our cars are seen as "behind times" by some.WRONG
A Z ,give it a Z34 or A 33 has got the staying power.
How many new concept cars have the Z as the base for what they are trying to do?

The Z is a great car, can be easily modded to make it even better. It was cutting edge, but a lot of the market has caught it, but that doesn’t make it any less of a great sports car for under $40K. While I’ve had my Z for about 5 years, and I’ll be getting a new sports car in the next year or so, I don’t think I’ll ever sell my Z. Heck, just the fact it’s got a manual transmission is a rarity these days. Love my Z!!!!

Nice article. :tup:

You noticed. The Z is starting to get more love from the press lately.

“...But the Z isn’t bought by people who want pony cars or soulless German metal, it’s bought by people who want a Zed...”

:icon18:

In my opinion, the Z has now joined the Lotus Elise in a category where few sports cars exist. Two-seater, rear wheel drive, manual sports cars that have not been updated for quite a while but are still sought after due to their raw character and back-to-basics feel.

PS: The Elise is technically no longer imported to the Americas but it is still a Lotus offering oversees that remains basically unchanged from its minor redesign in 2001.

YES, makes me want to buy another one... Hmmm, maybe and replace my DD with a 370 as a DD....
:bowrofl:

I still love its rareness. :D

I go weeks and weeks before seeing another Z and I love it. People stop in their tracks and stare when I drive by, love it! I park next to a Lexus RF and it has nothing to the Z's sexy body.

Seriously, I have been thinking this too... Love to have two of them

Man. Nice!

It is ironic b/c my bro has a Lotus Elise. We always have heads turning

Buy mine Spoiler...Im ready for a divorce with my Z.

And get a lighter sexyier orange cabbage or pumpkin!

The Elise is no where in the same league as the Z.
With regards to being rare Elise production number is probably 20% of the Z total production number. Again no contest here.

Lotus is hand built and weighs half the weight of the Z.

So its like comparing aging Jlo with her big azz vs young Leaner Taylor Swift

I wasn’t referring to rarity or lightness. Of course in those aspects, the two cars don’t compare. I was referring to “two seater, rear wheel drive” sports cars that have not been updated in a long time (still being sold). Can you think of any others?

Got you sir, but the Elise is being updated I believe but yes as mentioned by someone unfortunately it would not reach the US market due to federal regulations as the car ( Elise) is built for the track.

Sure would like to have a test ride on both of these just for comparison sake....:p

Here is the 2017 Elise Sprint cup 220 much lighter and faster with some new body upgrades. So yes the Z is a lone sports car that has not been updated but not the Lotus Elise.

Why I have a 370Z
 

Ah yes! The Elise Sprint Cup 220. But that is a very special edition Elise. One hell of a beast.
Lotus still sells the base Elise, same as it ever was.

"The Nissan 370Z isn’t a sensible or logical vehicle, it’s an emotional one that’s proud to live in its own world of irrationality. If you find yourself nodding along in agreement, then go out and get one because purity never lasts and the Z doesn’t look long for this world."

I'm Nodding intensely. Once a Z'er, always a Z'er. I Love My Z.

The NC MX-5 Miata had about a 10 year run, it's been updated now though...lol.

No. The Lotus Elise has been relativity the same since the early years of the S2. But yes, newer years are not sold in the US anymore; new as in 2012 and beyond.

My bro and I raced all the time and I've driven the Elise. The Z, although being a lot heavier, does still compare and compete with the Elise.
